Hi all,
Which you guys think is better, ragged right or justified right?
It's a book of short stories.
Set it justified - unless there is some special and well thought
out reason for using ragged right. Sometimes ragged is the
right thing, but those cases are rare. Open any book, newspaper
or magazine, and see that justified is the default.
Ragged right is a little easier for the software to lay out, and
word in particular is notorious for having it as a default. Thats
usually the reason why you see people using ragged right.
If you get too much hyphenation, consider using putting
\usepackage{microtype} in the preamble. It really cuts
down on hyphenation. It achieves this by slightly varying the
font widht as well as the interword spacing. That gives
more room for length adjustments.
